Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup chicken or seafood broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)
- 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the crushed red pepper flakes and chipotle chili powder to the skillet, stirring for another 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken or seafood broth, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and season with salt, black pepper, and sugar (if using). Let the sauce simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Gently add the shrimp to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or spice if desired.
Serve the Shrimp Diablo over the cooked rice, with lime wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
